I always said if I got into the interstate drug trafficking game I'd buy a nice, late model Buick, have a governor installed set at 68mph, then festoon it with "Ask Me About My Grandchildren" and "This Car Brakes For The Rapture" stickers.

Artis drove away and failed to stop at a stop sign and did not signal when turning, police said.

It's almost like she wanted to get pulled over.

When we used to go drinking in high school our preferred automobile was my friend's parents' wood-paneled station wagon with a "I support the Portland Police" sticker.

You see this stuff on I-94 or Telegraph Road in Michigan from time to time. Two guys, almost always shirtless, handcuffed and bent over the hood. Cops pulling out bales and bales of weed or packages of white powder. Another cop itemizing the weapons. Hundreds of thousands in drugs (plus guns) and the car in question is a rusting 1980s Cadillac with nonworking tailgates and all kinds of reasons to stop it. You just wonder why.

/I assume those who get caught like this are small time and the pros move it via other means

Even if we legalize pot, this amount is still probably going to be criminal (without the proper licensing), maybe not felonious, but criminal. The government will want their take in taxes, a concession I, personally, am fully willing to make in exchange for legalization.

According to detectives, around 6 p.m., an unmarked First Precinct police car observed Mizzie Artis, 27, of Bellport, operating a 1999 Hyundai eastbound on Columbus Avenue while talking on a cell phone and not wearing a seat belt.

Police then observed Artis drive to Armand Street where she met with a male subject in a minivan. As officers drove by both vehicles to further observe, the male subject fled the scene in the van, police said.

So a cop sees someone committing a traffic offense so minor that you can't even be pulled over for it, and then proceeds to case them?

Fleeing from the police is an arrestable offense. Talking on your cell phone while driving is a citable infraction (that means you can be pulled over for it). Which offense are you referring to?

Oh, and to answer your second question: Yes, the police can follow you around without doing anything for as long as they want for no reason at all, if you aren't doing anything, just because. Prove that they were following you. Why are you so paranoid?

Yep, the HR person for Weed Mules, LLC needs to be fired. I assume 92 lbs. of weed can be fairly expensive and certainly uninsurable. I am positive there are better drivers than this lady, albeit not nearly as hot.

Unless I'm mistaken, some dealers have used geezers as mules in the past
